We present a novel method for including the impact of massive neutrinos in cold dark matter N-body simulations. Our approach is compatible with widely employed Newtonian N-body codes and relies on only three simple modifications. First, we…

These notes are very much work-in-progress and simply intended to showcase, in various degrees of details (and rigour), some of the cosmology calculations that class_sz can do. We describe the class_sz code in C, Python and Jax. Based on…

Loop corrections to the power spectrum are frequently computed using approximate non-linear kernels adopted from an Einstein de-Sitter (EdS) cosmology. We present an algorithm that allows us to take the full time- and scale-dependence of…

A significant challenge for modelling the massive neutrino as a hot dark matter is its large velocity dispersion. In this work, we investigate and implement a multi-fluid perturbation theory that treats the cosmic neutrino population as a…

We compute non-linear corrections to the matter power spectrum taking the time- and scale-dependent free-streaming length of neutrinos into account. We adopt a hybrid scheme that matches the full Boltzmann hierarchy to an effective…

We generalise the SuperEasy linear response method, originally developed to describe massive neutrinos in cosmological $N$-body simulations, to any hot dark matter (HDM) species with arbitrary momentum distributions. The method uses…
